They are doing it to clear roster space to bring in a free agent(like Delonte) not for the picks themselves
Well hopefully someone is dumb enough to grab him, I don't think Ebanks is NBA quality.

Metta World Peace went hard tonight. All the talks of him doing great in the off-season must have been true to an extent. You can always count on Metta to play with energy.

I'm starting to see some of the problems with him at PF. At times, the Warriors' bigs took advantage of his lack of size.
In the end, I still think it's best for him. He just doesn't have the speed at SF to keep up. Even mediocre SFs were starting to look great against him.

20 points 3/6 from 3
If we somehow land Dwight Howard AND Nash (which is one of the biggest reaches I've posted, don't think that will happen), then yeah...I have no problem with it, because Howard won't allow anyone to take Nash off the dribble 30+ minutes a game.

I told everyone about him that hes gonna be "something to watch" this year. His spin move is dirty, he just need to finish his lay up and be calm when hes attackin to the basket. but did u guys see the cross over on the fast break!

Artest has been consistently good off the bench. I know his lateral quickness has diminished and he can't guard quicker guys on the perimeter but he plays hard all the time and he competes. Besides those transition 3's and plays where Ron got screened, Melo had to work for most of his shots.
Ron has been a very good contributor to this team all season.

he had 20 points again today and is a perfect one two punch with Kobe.
Funny how Metta who said he'd have been Kobe's "rival" if they had never joined forces on the same team is the guy Kobe depends on the most to bring his A game. And he is the only other guy(while Nash was out) to try to take initiative off of Kobe from time to time.
Now coming off the bench scoring 20 for two straight games and scoring between 15-20 in a lot of the last few, it's an awesome combination

stretch of bad offensive games, well low percentage I should say, since he got 16 but on 15 shots.
Staying active on the defensive end and hustle though. Was making life a living heck for Blake Griffin before the foul trouble.
Would have had a momentum swing block on the final play Chris Paul tried to get a layup on but the refs called a foul on Dwight before the block.
Would have been great to swat CP3's shot and would have been a huge momentum shift being only down 2 with the ball.

Good defense from him today, seemed to get out of his slump a little bit.
Lineup with him, Hill, Dwight and Kobe got the Lakers back into the game.
One thing that is always good from him is his effort and hustle, be it on the defensive end of orther wise. Was nice seeing him knock down open threes again and forcing Gallo into a 24 second violation. Want to see him posting up a bit more though like earlier in the season.

We have to give him credit for his offense. He looked awful the last few years. Even if has still has a bad game now and then, you have to give him credit for having good season averages.
That said, I think his defense has declined almost as much as his offense improved. I've been saying that I think he's the biggest problem in relation to role on defense. As the main perimeter defender, he's not good at all.
